What paint do you use when doing this as im doing mine soon and wondered whether you have to use heat proof paint or not?? Personaly i dont like using it as whenever ive used it before i wasnt happy with the sort of washed out/chalky finish

Thanks.

I normally your Foliatec from Halfords, all there colours are super bright. I wanted red but they were out of stock. So this time i used there Halfords Engine paint in Silver. Its good up to 600degrees and its i a spray can. Its got awesome coverage too, used just under a tin for both calipers. Something like £8
